I have been told that I should shut off fluid pressure to my RF brake so that my car pulls to the inside if I have to brake hard. I have been told that it help tighten up the car in the turns if I need it and help give more control if a car gets out of control and I need to manuever around it. BUT... I have notice that I have really good control during braking and I see a lot of pure stock cars that have done this and it looks like it causes more problems that it is worth...Maybe these dirvers just really $uck? Does anyone have any suggestions or comments?ThanksSpeeronline

As Ive said before - all stock and ministock rules Ive read state that all for brakes must be working.

BRAKES WHATS THAT? OUR RULES SAY NOTHING ABOUT BRAKES-AND THEY HAVE NEVER CHECKED ANYWAY. I MYSELF USE A (1) BRAKE ON THE FNT LEFT IT HELPS WHEN I DO USE THEM IN THE TURN (PILE UPS) TO PULL ME DOWN (LEFT) AND HELPS GETTING OFF THE TRAILER, ALSO CUTS SOME WIEGHT. ANYWAY THAT'S JUST MY 1 CENT, I'M STILL A ROOKIE.GOOD LUCK

it helps in the corners but will do terrible things the first time someone spins on the straight away and you hit the brakes hard to miss them. ive tried it and changed it back to four wheel. shoot for the proper setup and try not to use it like a crutch to fix handling problems.

I've been running three brakes the last yr and half actually since I started.It works great for me in the corners to bring the car down in turn 1 mainly, dont need in 3 and 4.But as mentioned earlier if something happens hang on get ready to use some arm if you have to go right in a hurry.
